to the Miners In the North of Grean
Britain,
LONDON, April 9.-Lord Harrington
has written The following letter to the
Unionist meeting: 'lt is of great Inn
portance that some answer should be
given to the a citation which is being pro-
NOTED against measures necessary for the
maintenance OF order in Ireland. Doubt
less 1t is greatly to be regretted that the
government is compelled again to resort
to. cOerciVe measures, although Liberal
statesmen have not shrunk on
former occasions from proposing in
similar circumstances legislation OF
equal If not greater severity. 1t is my
firm conviction that the disorder which
compelled the government to resort to
TINS policy is not spontaneous and is mol
mainly caused by unredressed grievances.
II is the result Of the determination OF
some leaders OF tue Irish people to prove
that government of Ireland by the Par
lament OF the United Kingdom Is impoe-
elDle, and an attempt Is being made 10
dIscredt both remedial and repressiVe
legislation. In my judgment this az.
tempt ought to be firmly resisted by the
Unionists, both Liberals and Conserya.

THE ANTI-COERCION MEETING.
The anti-coerci0n meeting to be held Ia
Hyde Park Monday promises to be the
biggest outdoor political meeting ever
held in London. Premier Gladstone to-
day issued to the miners in the North OF
a "a q m.
thusiastic followers Of him, the following
letter, which amounts to manifesto:
II cannot refrain from calling your at,
tentiOn to the meeting which is to be held
in Hyde Park next Monday, and to whica
| understand Tens OF thousands of work.
ing men OF London intend generous ia
devote their holiday. Ii ever there was
time when it was to the interest
OF English workmen to bethina
himself, this is the time. 1t is the tlrst
time when q coercion bill, II passed, is to
be passed by England's vote alone against
the voices OF Scotland, Ireland and Wales.
1t is the fret time when such bill will
have been passed under the sanction OF
the househOlders at large, who weTet
never enlrsnchised before the last ele,'..l
tiOns-!n 1885 and 1886. 1t is the trN
time coercion has been proposed wIthol
any attempt by the Ministry to shos
what we know they cannot show, thai
OF exceptional and tlagrant or growing
crime. II England is to c0erce Ireland ioI
crime Ireland can reply that relatively To
population she has less crime than En-
gland. In my opinion the rejection of the
bill is even more needed by England than
by Ireland. For Ireland 1t IL question
of suffering, ANA she knows how to suffer.
For England 1t is a question OF shame and
dishOuor, and to cast away shame and
dIshonor is the fret business Of great
nation.

yadO OF born desperate, he surveyed the
officers for moment and quietly raised
his rife and began single-handed BAT
tie with the six men. His first bullet

MILWAUKEE,, WIS, April "a special
from Marquette, Mich, says there is
great excitement all over the Northern
Michigan peninsula over alleged frauds
in the recent election, which places in
doubt the tate OF the prohibitory amend
ment. The lronwood authorities are re-
ported to have sought legal advice, it
being charged that voters by hundreds
were imported from Wisconsin TO vote
against the amendment. Frauds are
alleged to have occurred in Gogebic
county. That most wholesale fraud was
carried on there seems apparent. Re-
vised returns cut down the vote against
the amendment to S45, allowing Besse-
mer nearly 1900. II Bessemer county is
thrown out, and there 10 no doubt OF a
